Opening by Appointment

Hi all,

Good news! We are moving into our next phase of "re-opening". Please keep in mind that due to the nature of the pandemic, we may go "back and forth" a bit depending on the risk level in our community/area as well as compliance by patrons in adhering to the following protocols.

Beginning on Tuesday, July 21st.


* The library will be open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 3 until 6 p.m. Anyone interested in coming in must make an appointment first by calling the library, 603-827-2918 or emailing the director at sweaver@harrisville.lib.nh.us
* Only one person or family/household group, up to five people in all, will be allowed in at a time, and visits will be limited to 20 minutes. Please arrive promptly and leave after your 20 minutes is up, in order for surfaces to be wiped down before the next party arrives.
* All people entering the library must wear a face covering, please put it on before entering the building.
* When you first come in, there is a hand sanitizer dispenser mounted on the wall. Please sanitize your hands before coming into the main room.

*The bathroom is closed to the public at this time.

* Any items that you touch/handle but don't take out will need to be placed in the "Quarantine bin" which will be located in the center of the room. Items will be quarantined for 72 hours before being returned to the shelf.

* Computer usage must be arranged in advance. The librarian will not be able to assist patrons at the computer or printer/copier, and you must also bring your own "office supplies": staplers, pens, tape, etc.
* Curbside pickup of library materials will continue, and will be available Monday through Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
*Returned items should be put through the Book Return slot in the front door. (All returned materials are quarantined for 3 days before going back on the shelf.)

* Although we will be taking every precaution possible, we cannot guarantee that library material is free of the COVID-19 virus.



 ( Please no book sale items or donations at this time)
